Hi,
I recently picked up godot for a school project. I want it to involve saving and loading data from a JSON file to store data. So far, I’ve learned how to grab data using:
func load_json():
var file = FileAccess.open("res://words.json", FileAccess.READ)
var js = JSON.new()
js.parse(file.get_as_text())
var data = js.get_data()
dict = data
file.close()
However, I couldn’t find results to save additional dictionaries and change existing data in the JSON. The results I did find were mostly for outdated versions. Here is my attempt at a saving function (the purpose is to append a new dictionary to words.json):
func append_words(new_dict: Dictionary):
if (check() == false):
%OUTPUT.text = "no input, try again."
else:
var new_json = {}
load_json()
new_json = dict["words"]
var file = FileAccess.open("res://words.json", FileAccess.WRITE)
var js = JSON.new()
file.store_var(new_dict)
file.close()
When I run the code and look in the words.json file, nothing changed. Help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
